Chief Turner referred to the educational edu-cational campaign conducted by the American Fork Police Department De-partment and the U. S. Secret Service, and said "Now is the time for merchants to talk these matters over with their em ployees. Caution them to be more careful in accepting either Government or Commercial checks, especially from strangers. Have them Initial any check they accept, and jot down some memo as to what was used for ldentlfl cation. This fixes responsibility and serves to remind one of the transaction. Make up your mind to save yourself from loss by knowing your endorser and re quiring identification. Mer chants should ask themselves this question: 'If this check Is returned as a forgery, do I KNOW where I can locate the forger and recover my money?' Unless the answer to that one Is 'yes' well, It's their money."
